Problem
Wandlyn Resorts, Inc. owns and operates two resort properties that operate under different brand names - one is located in Florida and the other in Costa Rica. Wandlyn has determined that each resort constitutes an asset group for testing long-lived assets for impairment and a reporting unit for testing goodwill for impairment. Wandlyn was acquired by an investment firm several years ago, resulting in the inclusion of a brand name intangible asset and goodwill in each asset group/reporting unit. Wandlyn has determined that both brand name intangible assets have indefinite useful lives. The following types of assets are present at each resort asset group/reporting unit:
a) Accounts receivable
b) Inventory
c) Customer-related intangible assets (finite-lived)
d) Brand name intangible assets (indefinite lived)
e) Property, plant, and equipment
f) Goodwill
In the current reporting period, Wandlyn has determined that, at the Florida resort, a triggering event occurred, requiring the asset group to be tested for impairment on a held-and-used basis. Further, during the current reporting period, Wandlyn began a process to dispose of the resort in Costa Rica through a sale, and has determined that the criteria for classification as held for sale have been satisfied.
